RootStock gears up for 'Cycle Winters' exhibition

This Friday evening, RootStock gears up for the "Cycle Winters" Downtown Winters Bike Installation next week by having a bike art Opening Reception in the Alley Gallery also titled, "Cycle Winters."

The spirit of adventure and beauty in the cycling community are being celebrated by having a group art exhibition focused on bike art and the bike trails in Yolo County. This exhibition celebrates the large cycling community that migrates to and from Winters, every week. There will also be a live screen-printing demo of bike prints by local artist, Amanda Post. Local artists will present their artwork in RootStock's Alley Gallery along with a complimentary performance by the Bonanza Kings from 6-8 p.m.

These local musicians are an eclectic country swing band fronted by singer Kari King. In addition to King, Bonanza King is Keith Carey: steel guitar, J. Cedar Seeger: electric guitar, Roger Kunkel: fiddle, Steve O'Neill: bass and Nick Carvajal: drums. Most of the songs are written by King, and are inspired by her life. The Bonanza Kings influences include rag-time, old jazz, blues, and many forms of country music.

Saturday is International Sauvignon Blanc Day and Rootstock will be offering a complimentary tasting of these wines all day. This wine is perfect for warm days in June, with notes of citrus and is crisp and refreshing on the palate. The RootStock tasting room has two vintages from Route 3 and two separate Sauvignon Blancs from Casey Flat Ranch. There will also be music by Kyle Bowen in the tasting room from noon to 3 p.m.
